Eff’em. I’m not giving up my freedom to the idiot left. Drill, baby, drill!! We’ve got plenty of oil.
We don't have "plenty" of oil.
United States Oil Production peaked way back in 1970.
And now we're suffering an anemic economy due to excessive hemorrhaging of money spent on foreign oil.
"Drill Baby Drill" isn't enough.
We need to reduce our consumption as well.
And convert to alternate sources of energy like nuclear power.
Drill, baby, drill!! We’ve got plenty of oil.Go get 'em Jim!
Trains don’t save oil, Jim. They’re pushing a rail in Cincy. It goes from a point A to a point B that might make sense for those who live right on that route or just a few blocks from the stops it might make. Other than that, how are they going to get around???
They’ll have to rent a car, hire a taxi, ride a bus (if available) and all that will take time and oil.
I’ll also have to do car, taxi, or bus to the location where I get aboard IF I ever want to be in those neighborhoods to those destinations.
I can jump in my car and get just about anyplace in the city in 30 minutes. The other sounds like a 1.5 - 2 hour process that ends up using vehicles anyway.
Factor in vehicles to final destination and time lost, and you get a non-starter.
